While this season has been frustrating for my Chiefs, the loss Sunday to the Chargers pales in comparison to the loss of Patrick Mahomes. This season was a crapshoot to say the least. From a constantly rotating offensive line that had Mahomes running for his life at times, to a kicker who has...

In the movie Forever Young, there is a scene where Mel Gibson's character is discussing an experiment by his friend, Harry about bringing a chicken back to life and tells his girlfriend, played by Isabel Glasser, that she can't mention it to anyone. He asks her if she can keep the secret even...

To all who have served and are currently serving, thank you for your service. We owe you a debt of gratitude we will never be able to repay. Barbershopman

In an interview, Spielberg said when he saw how test audiences reacted to the shark coming out of the water after Brody's "you're going to need a bigger boat" scene, he got greedy. That's how we got the Ben Gardner head scene. I rank them basically in order: Jaws the original is the best...

The underwater night boat scene (Ben Gardner's head) and Quint's demise scenes so scarred me at age 6 that I couldn't watch either of those scenes for about 25 years. It wasn't until my son took an interest in watching the movie that I was able to watch those scenes. I realized they weren't as...

My mom and dad decided to take my brother and I out for a movie night one night 50 years ago, I was 6, my brother was 5. My mom packed hot dogs in her oversized 70s purse and we all went to see the must see movie of the summer in 1975, Jaws. It was, after all rated PG, (PG-13 wasn't a rating...

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred wrote to the attorney who petitioned for Rose's reinstatement: "Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," adding, "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that...

In high school, I went to an amusement park on a date. We decided to ride a roller coaster that was mild enough that you sat one behind another with no seat belt or bar restraint. I was poking and tickling her ribs the entire ride (around 3 minutes), she was twisting and jerking the whole...

Ruth Buzzi passed away on May 1st. She was an actress known for Sesame Street and Broadway productions, but most of all as hairnet wearing, handbag weilding Gladys Ormphby on Rowan & Martin's Laugh In and the Dean Martin celebrity roasts. One Dean Martin roast that I saw just this morning was...

Alex Ovechkin scored goal number 895 on a power play 7:26 into the second period to become the NHLs all-time goal scoring leader, surpassing the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. Eerily enough, Ovi scored the record breaking goal in his 1487th game. Wayne scored his 894th goal in game 1487! It was...

Fantasy sports makes you fans of individual players, rather than rooting for teams IMO. Barbershopman

Because of an incident of workplace violence, we were subject to an HR session about what is proper in the workplace. Of course one topic was unwanted violation of personal space and the fourth bullet point was tickling. Of course, I was taking the instruction in stride, but my sadistic, evil...

I would imagine not too good. Lets see what has transpired in the course of one month: Maxi Kleber, Kessler Edwards, and Dante Exum are unavailable due to injuries. You traded away the face of your franchise, a 25 year old superstar for an oft injured 33 year old power forward who, in his...

You know you're getting old when 40 years ago in 7th grade, you had a new class in your school curriculum to introduce you to this new technology known as an Apple II C computer. Barbershopman
